It has the advantages of reducing cutting force, reducing cutting temperature, increasing tool life, and improving the integrity of the processed surface, and has gradually become an advanced precision machining method. However, due to its low excitation power, small vibration amplitude, complex structure and high cost, it is limited in its wide application.

[0003] Self-excited vibration cutting technology is a self-excited vibration cutting method that relies on the cutting energy of the tool system to generate an amplitude of tens of microns. It has the advantages of simple structure, high excitation power, and large vibration amplitude. It has been applied in the fields of efficient vibration turning to generate metal short fibers, efficient vibration chip breaking and deep hole drilling, and efficient vibration rough grinding to reduce burns. However, there has been no attention paid to the tool life of vibration cutting and its impact on processing efficiency. Instead, the main focus has been on how to suppress the generation of vibration in processing situations.

[0004] As the performance requirements of aerospace equipment continue to increase, high-temperature alloys and titanium alloys are widely used. However, they have high cutting forces, high cutting temperatures, fast tool wear, low processing efficiency, and poor machinability, making them recognized as difficult-to-process materials. In particular, the processing allowance of difficult-to-process material components is large, accounting for the majority of the total processing time. Therefore, how to improve the processing efficiency of difficult-to-process materials is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0018] Where X is the displacement perpendicular to the workpiece surface, Y is the displacement along the cutting speed direction, and A 1 is the amplitude along the cutting speed direction, and A 2 is the amplitude perpendicular to the workpiece surface, ω is the chatter frequency of the tool in the cutting speed direction, φ is the phase difference between the vibrations in the two directions, t is time, v is the cutting linear speed. Taking Y as the abscissa and X as the ordinate, the relative motion trajectory of the tool and the workpiece can be obtained.

[0061] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention

[0062] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a chatter cutting method for difficult-to-machine materials to solve the problems existing in the prior art. During the chatter cutting process, a stable vibration is excited in the chatter tool bar, and the tool forms a ratchet-shaped motion trajectory, which can periodically squeeze and disengage from the surface of the workpiece. When disengaging from the surface of the workpiece, cutting fluid is used to cool and lubricate the separated cutting area, so as to form a ratchet-shaped surface topography on the surface of the workpiece, which can reduce the cutting temperature, reduce tool wear, and improve the machining efficiency

[0063] In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners

[0064] The present application is proposed based on the bionic inspiration of katydids: Katydids refer to a kind of Tettigoniidae, commonly known as katydids. The wings of male katydids are left-overlapping wings, that is, the left wing covers the right wing. The shapes of the left wing and the right wing are quite different. As Figure 1 shown, the dark area on the ventral surface of the left wing is a ridge-like band called the file, and there is a tissue similar to the wing vein on the back edge of the right wing called the plectrum. When the plectrum moves on the file and rubs against the file, it makes a chirping sound. Each tooth on the file is not symmetrical on both sides. One side is gentle and the other side is steep. The moving direction of the plectrum is opposite to the deflection direction of the tooth, which can be called reverse ratchet teeth. The plectrum scraping on the reverse ratchet teeth generates stable self-excited vibration (referred to as chatter in machining), also known as scraping vibration. The periodic separation of the plectrum and the reverse ratchet teeth in the scraping vibration effectively reduces the friction force and frictional heat during the scraping process, greatly reducing the wear of the plectrum and the reverse ratchet teeth. Therefore, male katydids can rub their wings 50 million - 60 million times throughout the summer

[0065] Based on the friction reduction effect during the scraping vibration process of the plectrum and file on the katydid wing, the present invention conducts feature extraction and simplification, and proposes a chatter cutting method for difficult-to-machine materials. This method equivalentizes the chatter tool shank and tool to a plectrum, excites stable chatter, obtains a workpiece surface topography in the shape of reverse ratchet teeth. At the same time, the periodic separation of the flank face of the tool and the workpiece surface enables the cutting fluid to enter the cutting area, greatly reducing tool wear, extending tool life, and improving machining efficiency.

[0066] Specifically, as Figures 2 to 30 shown, the present invention provides a chatter cutting method for difficult-to-machine materials, including the following content:

[0067] Install the chatter tool shank on the machine tool, start the machine tool, and use the cutting energy of the tool system itself to generate self-excited chatter for chatter cutting. The chatter tool shank mentioned here can be divided into turning tool shanks, milling tool shanks, drilling tool shanks, etc. according to different cutting methods, and different forms of tools are installed on the chatter tool shank;

[0068] During the chatter cutting process, the chatter tool shank is excited to generate stable vibrations, and the tool forms a ratchet-shaped motion trajectory. It should be noted that: reasonable chatter tool shanks can be designed and manufactured according to the processing parameters of different difficult-to-machine materials, and self-excited chatter with an amplitude of dozens of micrometers can be generated using the cutting energy of the tool system itself. Compared with the traditional vibration cutting tool shank structure, it is simple in structure, convenient to manufacture, does not require an external excitation power supply, and has a lower cost. The formed ratchet-shaped motion trajectory includes the process of the tool squeezing the surface of workpiece 7 and the tool detaching from the surface of workpiece 7, forming a ratchet-shaped surface topography on the surface of workpiece 7;

[0069] During the process of the tool separating from the surface of workpiece 7, the cutting fluid can be controlled to spray towards the cutting area under a certain pressure, so that the cutting fluid enters the separated cutting area for cooling and lubrication, thereby reducing the cutting temperature.

[0070] In the present invention, during the chatter cutting process, the chatter tool shank is excited to generate stable vibrations, the tool forms a ratchet-shaped motion trajectory, can periodically squeeze and detach from the surface of workpiece 7, and uses the cutting fluid to cool and lubricate the separated cutting area when detaching from the surface of workpiece 7, thereby forming a ratchet-shaped surface topography on the surface of workpiece 7. Controlling the chatter of the chatter tool shank within a reasonable vibration parameter range can greatly extend the tool life for the chatter cutting of difficult-to-machine materials compared with ordinary cutting, and thus improve the machining efficiency. At the same time, the chatter tool shank has a simple structure, convenient application, and low price. Therefore, chatter cutting can become an advanced method for the high-efficiency machining of difficult-to-machine materials.

[0071] As Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the chatter cutting process has a large feed and depth of cut. It is a continuous cutting process and is different from the interrupted cutting process of ultrasonic machining. The generation of chatter causes the relative speed, depth of cut, and tool angle between the tool and the workpiece 7 to continuously change during the machining process. As Figure 3 shown, within one vibration cycle of the envelope curve of the tooth-shaped motion trajectory at the tool tip, the cutting tool moves from point P1 to P2, the depth of cut gradually increases, the dynamic clearance angle continuously decreases until a negative clearance angle appears, and the flank continuously presses against the surface of the workpiece 7, as shown in the shaded area in the figure. The cutting force increases and the cutting heat accumulates; P2 is the minimum value of the clearance angle; when the cutting tool moves from P2 to P3, the clearance angle gradually increases, the depth of cut first increases and then decreases, the cutting force first increases and then decreases, the contact area between the flank and the workpiece 7 first increases and then rapidly decreases, the flank of the tool gradually separates from the surface of the workpiece 7, the cutting fluid begins to enter the flank area for cooling and lubrication, and the cutting temperature rapidly drops, forming a Figure 4 tooth-shaped surface topography as shown. This is also the reason why the periodic separation of the flank during reasonable chatter cutting can significantly improve the tool life. During the entire chatter cutting process, as the vibration repeats periodically, the above process also appears periodically. It should be noted that when the amplitude of the main vibration direction is too large, the acceleration of the tool also increases, the interference of the flank extrusion increases, and the impact load borne during the cutting process is too large, resulting in a sharp reduction in the tool life. Therefore, a reasonable amplitude of the main vibration is crucial for extending the tool life.

[0072] The chatter tool shank needs to be designed and manufactured according to the selected machining material and cutting parameters to ensure that the vibration parameters of the chatter tool shank are within the reasonable vibration parameter range. Among them, the machining material can be aluminum / magnesium / copper alloy, stainless steel, titanium alloy, superalloy, high-strength steel, and composite materials, etc.; the cutting parameters include cutting linear speed, depth of cut, and feed rate; the vibration parameters include the main amplitude and main frequency of the main vibration direction of chatter; the reasonable vibration parameter range is related to the workpiece material, tool material, and cutting amount, and is based on being able to extend the tool life compared with ordinary cutting.

[0073] On the one hand, during the design and manufacturing process of the chatter tool shank, for the selected machining material and cutting parameters, in order to be able to excite the stable vibration of the chatter tool shank during the cutting process, the stiffness of the chatter tool shank needs to be weakened. The direction of stiffness weakening is perpendicular to the machining surface direction or along the rotary cutting speed direction, so that during the cutting process, the dynamic change of the cutting force can excite the chatter tool shank to chatter along the weak stiffness direction; on the other hand, to ensure the stable chatter of the chatter tool shank and prevent the chatter from getting out of control and the amplitude from being too large, the stiffness cannot be too weak. Therefore, the key to the design and manufacturing of the chatter tool shank is the control of stiffness.

[0074] The methods for stiffness control include: ① changing the tool shank material and selecting materials with different elastic moduli as the tool shank material according to needs; ② changing the tool shank shape or structure.

[0075] AsFigure 2 As shown, the surface topography of the ratchet type is generated by vibration in one or more directions. The trajectory equation of the relative movement between the tool and the workpiece 7 is as follows:

[0076] X = A 2 sin(ωt)

[0077] Y = A 1 sin(ωt + φ) + vt

[0078] In the formula, X is the displacement perpendicular to the surface of the workpiece 7, Y is the displacement along the cutting speed direction, A 1 is the amplitude along the cutting speed direction, A 2 is the amplitude perpendicular to the surface of the workpiece 7, ω is the chatter frequency of the tool in the cutting speed direction, φ is the phase difference between the vibrations in two directions, t is time, and v is the cutting linear speed. Taking Y as the abscissa and X as the ordinate, the trajectory of the relative movement between the tool and the workpiece 7 can be obtained.

[0079] During the chatter cutting process, the amplitudes, frequencies, and phase differences in each direction can be measured. When measuring, a three-axis acceleration sensor can be attached to the vibrating part of the chatter tool bar for measurement. According to the measurement results, the vibration trajectory of the chatter tool bar and the tool can be determined. The main chatter frequency of the chatter tool bar is close to the natural frequency in the main vibration direction (the direction with the largest amplitude). By performing natural modal analysis and design on the chatter tool bar, the chatter frequency can be regulated.

[0080] When using different chatter tool bars for chatter cutting, various cutting processing technologies can be formed. For example: combined with turning, there can be a chatter turning method; combined with milling, there can be a chatter milling method; combined with grinding, there can be a chatter grinding method; combined with drilling, there can be an axial chatter drilling method; combined with reaming, there can be a chatter reaming method; combined with countersinking, there can be a chatter countersinking method.

[0081] The cutting fluid can be oil-based cutting fluid, oil-based cutting mist, water-based cutting fluid, water-based cutting mist, or liquid nitrogen, etc. The cutting fluid pressure is determined according to the machine tool conditions and process effect requirements.

[0082] The machine tool refers to lathes, milling machines, drilling machines, grinding machines, machining centers, etc. that can perform various cutting processing technologies.

[0083] According to the solutions described above, the present invention provides multiple specific embodiments.

[0084] Embodiment 1: Chatter turning of GH4169 superalloy

[0085] S1: The workpiece 7 is fixed on the lathe, and the cutting parameters are selected (the cutting linear speed of the tool is 30 m / min, the cutting depth is 0.2 mm, and the feed rate is 0.1 mm / r). A turning chatter tool bar matching the selected cutting parameters is designed and manufactured. Taking turning as an example, the shape of the tool bar is as Figure 5 shown. The chatter tool bar is processed with weak rigidity. The material is selected as aluminum alloy 6061. The tool bar structure is divided into a clamping part 1 and an overhanging part 2. The clamping part 1 is in the shape of a cuboid, and the overhanging part 2 is in the shape of a cylinder. The cross-sectional diameter of the overhanging part 2 is 30 mm. The front end of the overhanging part 2 is an installation surface 3 for installing the blade 6. The installation surface 3 coincides with the central plane of the cylindrical overhanging part 2 and is parallel to the top or bottom surface of the clamping part 1. At the center of the front end of the installation surface 3, there is a tool groove 4 for installing the blade 6. The width of the installation surface 3 is 13 mm. At the bottom of the tool groove 4, there is a threaded hole 5 for fixing the blade 6. The specification of the threaded hole 5 is M4. The chatter tool bar is clamped on the tool holder. The bottom surface of the clamping part 1 contacts the bottom surface of the tool holder, and the top surface is clamped by a tool holder screw. The most important dimension of the chatter tool bar is the length of the overhanging part 2. Changing the length of the overhanging part 2 can adjust the modal parameters of the chatter tool bar, and further control the vibration parameters such as the amplitude and frequency of the tool bar during the machining process. As Figure 6 shown in the vibration measurement system, the chatter tool bar is clamped on the turning tool holder. The triaxial acceleration sensor is fixed on the bottom surface of the front end of the overhanging part 2, and the amplitudes of the chatter tool bar in three directions are measured simultaneously. The measurement results are as Figure 7 shown. It is found that during the whole machining process when the flank wear of the tool reaches VBmax = 0.3 mm, the vibration amplitude of the tool bar is stable. The vibration is mainly divided into the cutting speed direction and the cutting depth direction. The vibration amplitude in the feed direction is very small and can be ignored. At the same time, the chatter frequency is also relatively stable. As Figure 8 shown, the chatter frequency of the tool bar in the cutting speed direction is close to the natural frequency of the first-order bending vibration of the tool bar, and the vibration phase difference between the two directions is 0°. Therefore, the vibration trajectories of the blade 6 when turning the workpiece 7 in three turning methods are as Figures 9 to 11 shown. The turning methods include external turning, face turning, and internal hole turning. The cutting parameters are selected (the cutting linear speed of the tool is 30 m / min, the cutting depth is 0.2 mm, and the feed rate is 0.1 mm / r). A matching turning chatter tool bar is designed and manufactured for the selected cutting parameters. When using a turning tool to turn the external circle of the workpiece, as Figure 12 shown in the measurement results, the vibration directions of the tool bar and the tool excited are divided into the cutting speed direction and the radial cutting depth direction. The main vibration frequency is 5000 Hz, the amplitude of the main vibration direction is 12 - 13 μm, and the vibration phase difference between the two directions is 0°. The cutting parameters are selected (the cutting linear speed of the tool is 40 m / min, the cutting depth is 0.2 mm, and the feed rate is 0.1 mm / r). A matching turning chatter tool bar is designed and manufactured for the selected cutting parameters. When using a turning tool to turn the external circle of the workpiece, as Figure 13The measured results show that the vibration directions of the tool shank and the tool are along the cutting speed direction and the radial depth of cut direction. The main vibration frequency is 5000 Hz, the amplitude of the main vibration direction is 14 - 16 μm, and the vibration phase difference between the two directions is 0°. The cutting parameters are selected (the cutting linear speed of the tool is 45 m / min, the depth of cut is 0.2 mm, and the feed rate is 0.1 mm / r). A turning chatter tool shank is designed and manufactured to match the selected cutting parameters. When turning the outer circle of the workpiece with a turning tool, as Figure 14 The measured results show that the vibration directions of the tool shank and the tool are along the cutting speed direction and the radial depth of cut direction. The main vibration frequency is 5000 Hz, the main vibration amplitude is 15 - 16 μm, and the vibration phase difference between the two directions is 0°. The cutting parameters are selected (the cutting linear speed of the tool is 50 m / min, the depth of cut is 0.2 mm, and the feed rate is 0.1 mm / r). A turning chatter tool shank is designed and manufactured to match the selected cutting parameters. When turning the outer circle of the workpiece with a turning tool, as Figure 15 The measured results show that the vibration directions of the tool shank and the tool are along the cutting speed direction and the radial depth of cut direction. The main vibration frequency is 5000 Hz, the main vibration amplitude is 16 - 18 μm, and the vibration phase difference between the two directions is 0°. The cutting parameters are selected (the cutting linear speed of the tool is 60 m / min, the depth of cut is 0.2 mm, and the feed rate is 0.1 mm / r). A turning chatter tool shank is designed and manufactured to match the selected cutting parameters. When turning the outer circle of the workpiece with a turning tool, as Figure 16 The measured results show that the vibration directions of the tool shank and the tool are along the cutting speed direction and the radial depth of cut direction. The main vibration frequency is 5800 Hz, the main vibration amplitude is 10 - 12 μm, and the vibration phase difference between the two directions is 0°.

[0086] S2: Set the cutting fluid pressure to 5 bar, turn on the cutting fluid supply, and spray it onto the flank separation area of the chatter cutting.

[0087] S3: Install the turning chatter tool shank on the corresponding machine tool, turn on the machine tool, and perform chatter cutting.

[0088] The flank face of the turning tool is periodically separated from the surface of the workpiece 7, and the cutting fluid flows into the cutting core area for cooling. Under the cutting parameters of a speed of 30 m / min, 40 m / min, and 50 m / min, a feed rate of 0.1 mm / r, and a cutting depth of 0.2 mm, the tool life of chatter cutting is 3 times that of ordinary cutting; under the cutting parameters of a speed of 45 m / min, a feed rate of 0.1 mm / r, and a cutting depth of 0.2 mm, the tool life of chatter cutting is 5 times that of ordinary cutting; while under the cutting parameters of a speed of 60 m / min, a feed rate of 0.1 mm / r, and a cutting depth of 0.2 mm, although the main vibration parameters of the tool shank are within a reasonable range at this time, the tool life of chatter cutting is only increased by 20% compared with ordinary cutting. This is because the cutting speed is relatively high at this time, the cutting heat accumulates quickly, and the cooling effect of the flank face separation is greatly weakened. The life curves at speeds of 30, 40, 45, 50, and 60 m / min are respectively as Figure 17 , 18 , 19, 20, and 21 show. At the same time, the surface quality of chatter cutting does not deteriorate significantly, and the surface roughness is slightly greater than that of ordinary cutting, within a reasonable range, as Figure 22 , 23 , and 24 show. This shows that under these process conditions, an amplitude of 10 - 30 μm can effectively extend the tool life and maintain a better surface roughness value below Ra1.6.
